It's a moral outrage how racist capitalists don't want to open stores in majority-black areas.

True Story: Every year, Black Expo is held in Indiapolis at our convention center. In MOST years, there are gang shootings associated with this event. A few years ago there were 4 or 5 shootings downtown after the convention let out. In addition, there are fights at local restaraunts etc. A couple years ago, one particular, popular chain restaraunt, decided to close early while the convention was in town. They were vilified as being racist. Their explanation was very capitalistic. Paraphrasing... "We lose a significant amount of money during this week of the year. We have to repair the store, hire extra staff because the restaraunt is packed. There have been fights in our store and the patrons loiter in the store without buying food. We also have a lot of folks leave without paying for food."

Same thing happens every year in Myrtle Beach, SC during black biker week. The city has told them that they are no longer welcome, but they keep coming.

Highland Mall in Austin, TX has the same sort of trouble during the high school track and field competitions held annually at the nearby University of Texas campus. The mall is a popular hang out between events for the Amish so they wanted to close that weekend a couple years ago but the city told them they couldn’t as that would be racist never mind that their customer base is already diverse.
